Answer 3

I had this issue in Android Studio 3.4 when I loaded an old project. I found some XML files in the .idea folder, including the file .idea/modules.xml.

It contained multiple <module fileurl="..."> tags, some of these were duplicates of existing modules but these had incorrect paths, in the fileurl attribute. I closed the project, deleted these duplicate tags, and reopened the project. This resolved the error for me.

Then a Clean and Rebuild should be done also.
